Numinous Piscis

Apparently, Oannes had a sense of humor. Judging from
the below, it was both a fairly low and fairly
inappropriate sense of humor. More than one Archangel
swore when these specialized Numinous Corpi
resurfaced: for one thing, you can perform them on
somebody else (the 'victim' gets to roll against Will
every ten minutes to resist). For another, they're
really, really blatant. A good third reason is that
anyone using a Numinous Piscis will flop around like,
well, a fish out of water if knocked unconscious.

In fact, these Songs would have probably stayed lost
forever, if it wasn't for the Halibut (Jordi often
refers to his Word-bound as just the species that they
watch over)...

Fins

A big hit with Servitors of Dark Humor, this almost
purely cosmetic Song allows the performer to grow a
big fin on his or her back. This will rip clothing
(level/3 and above will wreck armor), make it
impossible to sit normally, scare swimmers...

Fish-head

No, not cosmetic (although the performer may choose to
make it so): the blank, staring eyes are hypnotic. By
spending an additional 2 Essence, the user may force
one person within line of sight to make a Will Roll +2
(minus the level of the Song) or else immediately fall
unconsciousness. Celestials will wake up after 5
minutes: humans will sleep with the fishes for about
two hours.

Duration on this Song is 10 minutes.

Gills

The performer grows large gills, allowing him or her
to breathe water. Unfortunately, the performer also
loses the ability to breathe properly on land: -2 to
all Strength and Agility rolls from the lack of
oxygen. Add ten minutes duration for every level of
the Song.

Hammerhead

The performer gets a really neat head, just like the
guy in that mortal movie everyone was watching a few
decades ago. Each level adds +3 Power to Fighting
attacks, provided that the person can actually perform
a head butt: it also provides a +1 per level for
Perception Rolls for activities going on to either
side. Unfortunately, each level also gives a -1 to
Perception Rolls for activities going on right in
front of you. The eyes, you understand.

Mermaid

Essentially, you lose your legs and get a tail,
instead. This adds 2 to your Swimming skill per
level, but your top land speed gets cut down to about
(Agility/2) yards per second. You also happen to
temporarily lose your clothing: seashells optional for
female performers.

Please also note that the tail starts from about the
waist down: the mere threat of performing this Song
is enough to break some Servitors of Lust.
